Rusted and frozen in 2 years!

I purchased the Badger 5 through Revain in November 2016. It is now January 2019 and the device has stopped working. It replaced an earlier Badger model that the manufacturer installed in 2012. Both units worked well, but the buyer should not expect more than a few years of service from the new unit. (3 ½ from the first; 2 from the second.) The problem is that the interior is badly rusted. See photo. It has been jamming for the last few months but the Allen key has been able to free it up to…

Company does not honor warranty

Do not use or rely on these products. They took me for a walk and will do the same to you. I purchased the device from a plumbing company in my city in October 2016 and it was installed for me at a kiosk for a total cost of $500. It collapsed completely dead in January 2017. I hired an electrician to make sure the electricity was fine (which it was). I then called the plumber I bought it from and checked it out and said it was broken but it had a 2 year warranty and to call Insinkerator to have

Pros

Disposal Defective

I bought the same Disposal This used to be a replacement. They don't last that long. I need someone to contact me please ⁉️ This is after the 30 day return date but it has a one year guarantee. I need to replace it as soon as possible‼️What happened; My son is 37, installed. He is very comfortable and takes good care of his mother! Has he worked for about a week? He then worked on draining the water basin‼️ He continued to work as disposal and draining of the water basin. In other words, the…

The Badger 1 model was replaced by this model. Fits perfectly!

*UPDATE* Within minutes of installing and turning the water on and off, I noticed a tiny leak on the bottom edge due to poor workmanship. I've seen other people complain about leaks after installation. You are not crazy! Mine is leaking too! I contacted Revain and they sent me a shipping label and ordered a replacement. Hope the next one doesn't drip. ***Check after I installed the faulty Badger 5 model before realizing it was faulty: I replaced my Badger 1 model with this Badger 5. All sink…

Broke within a week and terrible customer service

Received disposal on time. Installation was easy as expected. I installed it on Wednesday. Then the next Saturday my wife cooked dinner and recycled some food scraps and the recycling stopped working. The motor still hummed, but didn't turn the blades. I used the included hex wrench on the bottom of the unit and was able to rotate the blade, but the motor still wouldn't power it. I even put my hand in it and the blade was free to spin, but the motor wasn't driving it. So my wife contacted the…

Easy installation, excellent disposal

Update: one year later and no problems. great disposal! First Review: I am a 33 year old female who has never done any plumbing or electrical projects. Is always. However, this uninstall (Badger 5) came with clear instructions and was installed by me single handedly in about an hour. I was replacing an old Badger 100 (now Badger 1 I think) that had been installed by previous owners that we really liked. I don't know how old it is but we have lived in the house for about 5 years and it wasn't…
